Sun, 31 Aug 2014 05:01:32 +0000http://tvline.com/?p=540694#comment-2812799This show is the hardest show I’ve ever decided to stop watching. Because: it’s just magnificent in so many ways. And the reason I made that decision is because of Will being killed off. I understand, and respect, the Kings’ reasons for doing so, but it just ruined most of the things I loved best about the show-that, until that point, I’d never thought about. But I’ve actually thought about it several times this summer: I felt better leaving after that episode and it feels almost like it never happened. On the other hand, the characters, the actors, the production quality, the moral questions and intelligence and…just, the gifted (is really the most apt word) writing in this show makes me sad to leave it. Josh Charles made a decision and so did the Kings and I really still like and respect them tremendously. But it just truly ruined it for me.
.
That said, I admire the Kings so much, that when they eventually move on from TGW, I plan to,try their future endeavors. I also think that the season (up to that point-I can’t judge what came after, as I didn’t see it) and Josh Charles should have received and Emmy. I was talking to someone just yesterday about how the scene where he hit that desk, or when he made the decision tree and had the memory pops he had and the stricken look on his face-some of THE best acting I’ve seen period. It’s a shame to see the same-old, same-old win when this fantastic show and actor (also, Baranski can be added to this too) were just phenomenal.

The Good Wife was a great show right from the start. It was great, in part, because of Josh, but it will be a great show even though Will is dead. In fact, his death breathed some new life into an already great show. I’m sad that Will is gone, but it’s still a great show, and I will be with it as long as that continues.

Knowing that Josh is still involved in the series by directing episodes? That makes me happy, too. I am in favor of everyone who cares about this series to stay involved. It’s the one thing that I look forward to every Sunday.

Maybe I have been conditioned to like change because my all-time favorite drama is St. Elsewhere. They routinely killed off regular cast members, but the show never waned, in my opinion. The Good Wife is the same. People die in real life all the time. When it happens on one of “my shows”, it just reflects life.

Personally, yes, I am happy that Josh’s former cast members get to see him. I look forward to his next episode from behind the camera.
